For the SF Bay Area tonight: A virtually straight overhead pass of the International Space Station at 9:15PM PDT. Rises in the SW about 9:10PM. Brighter than ANYTHING in the sky, so you can't miss it! Take pictures! Map: https://t.co/BcNlGsDNiO

And as a reminder, @FoothillCollege and PAS are hosting a #LunarEclipse party for tonight's big event! Details at https://t.co/kMrPTKHl4k.

[Andrew Fraknoi @AndrewFraknoi]

Reminder: There will be a total #Eclipse of the #moon Sunday evening. Tonight would be a good time to look for the Moon and get a sense of where it is at different times. It'll be roughly the same tomorrow. See my info sheet: https://t.co/9X0Gr4BniI
